Rooibos can rejuvenate and stimulate the skin. It may even be applied directly to the skin to help clear up skin breakouts, pimples, sunburn, dermatitis, among others.
Use Rooibos tea rather than hard regular water to cleanse your face and skin. It may assist in decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging. Due to its anti-oxidant content scavenging free radicals, Rooibos may help combat the effects of aging.
